lib/Bigtop/Docs/TentTut.pod  view on Meta::CPAN

editor for building web apps.  It understands almost all the features of
bigtop syntax, allowing you to conentrate on what you want rather than
on proper bigtop spelling and punctuation.

This document is a tutorial to get you started.  It is not complete.
If you need more details consult C<Bigtop::Docs::TentRef> or
C<Bigtop::Docs::Syntax> (or even C<Bigtop::Keywords>).

Here, I will walk you through using tentmaker to generate a bigtop file.
Then, I will show how to use bigtop to turn that into a web app.  Finally,
I will return to expand the example in addtional iterations of feature
additions.  There are a couple of screen shots here.  If you don't see the
pictures in line, look for them in the docs directory of the Bigtop
distribution and/or on the web at http://www.usegantry.org/images/tenttut.

The example app I will build here is a contact database.  It will initially
store names and phone numbers.  In the second iteration I will expand it.
The ostensible purpose is to put my wife's address book on-line.
